Why is Donald Trump panicking and posting frantic social‑media updates?
Well, here he goes again, Donald Trump ranting and raving like a lunatic and panicking in public on his social media platform like a deranged third grader. No offense to deranged third graders who are far more mature. Donald Trump is posting the following slide. Leave the great former president of Brazil alone. Witch hunt exclamation point. He's talking about Jair Bolsonaro, who led an insurrection in Brazil. Donald Trump then posted. The crooked Democrats are using the opposite narrative, even though they know it is a total lie. Lie and lie is all in caps. Remember this when you hear their phony sound bites. MAGA exclamation point exclamation point exclamation point. Okay, prices are up right now. We know that when we go to stores, there's a reason why online shopping right now is at a like a low for the decade.
Um, it's Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Prime Day. Um, we're seeing a massive drop um in sales there, and we're seeing a massive drop across online uh shopping in general. General right now. You can threaten your oligarch friends to remove notifications on their websites that the reason for price increases is because of tariffs. But we the people understand that tariffs are taxes on the importers which are passed to consumers. We are the ones being taxed. Then Donald Trump continues to attack the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, this morning. He goes goes, Anybody but too late and he puts that in all caps. Anybody but too late. That's the nickname that he gives to the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell.
He calls him too late. Donald Trump appointed Jerome Powell, and this is why the United States dollar is off to the worst start since 1973. Because increasingly America is becoming less and less the world's reserve currency with the dollar because people see and unstable madman running the United States like a psycho authoritarian. Then Donald Trump posts, our Fed rate is at least three points too high. Too late is costing the US three hundred and sixty billion dollars a point per year in refinancing costs.
What are the new tariff letters Trump is sending to countries like Brunei and the Philippines?
No inflation, companies pouring into America, the hottest country in the world. Lower the rate, he goes, The hottest. We're so hot, is what he likes to always say over and over again. There's a reason why the chairman of the Federal Reserve is an independent position. Because the interference in this case that Donald Trump is engaging in is what causes massive, massive problems in an economy. And Donald Trump continuing to do that is going to cause massive systemic problems that we're seeing. Also, Donald Trump was posting his letters all morning, like a letter to the Sultan of Brunei, letting them know you are now hereby tariff 25% Sultan of Brunei. Donald Trump also tariffed the Philippines 20%, Moldova 25%, Algeria 30%, Iraq 30%, and Libya 30%.
And here's just you can see Donald Trump's letter that he posted to the Sultan of Brunei. It is a great honor for me to send you this letter in that it demonstrates the strength and commitment Of our trading relationship and the fact that the United States of America has agreed to continue working with Brunei despite having a significant trade deficit with your great country. Nevertheless, we have decided to move forward with you, but only with a more balanced and fair trade. Therefore, we invite you to participate in the extraordinary economy of the United States, the number one market in the world. Sultan, by far, we have had years to discuss our trading relationships with Brunei, have we? And have concluded that we must move away from these long-term and very persistent trade deficits engendered this is the most ridiculous letter engendered by Brunei's tariffs and non-tariff policies and trade barriers.
Our relationship has been unfortunately far from reciprocal, Sultan. Starting on August one, twenty twenty five, we will charge Brunei uh only uh twenty-five percent on any and all Brunei Bruneian products sent it to the United States, separate from all sectaral tariffs. Goods transhipped to evade a higher tariff will be subject to the higher tariff.
